THE PENNSYLVANIA SMALL-NoTE LAW

The Baltimore Sun says:
We perceive by several of the Western
Pennsylvania papers that the provisions OF
the new law have bern totally disregard
ed by the people AT Pittsburg especially,
small notes of all descriptions We're recelv-
ed and paid out almost as freely as before
the enactment. The Plttsourg Gazette
takes the ground tina, ITS enforcement will
ruin the trade of that city, and urges
:heir merchants to wholly disregard it,"

Cow AGAIN.-HAvRE DE-GRAcE BANK
There is another breach in the bank
not OF the "canawl"- but the paper 'smer-
sheen" at Havre de Grace. We received
the "melancholy ,niormatlon'' by install
ments in all yesterday, and there was no
sort Of difficulty in getting anybody to be-
lleve the rumor. We have no disposition
to "sport with misfortune" although we
have cautioned orr readers all over Mary
land and everywhere else against the very
event we chronicle to day.
The immediate Cause of the catastrophe
is IN the fact that the notes of the bank
found their way to the public through the
Tide Water Canal, and thus manly into
Pennsylvania; and the small note law
which has just gone Into operation in that
State has driven them down rather faster
than they went up. Hence the rapid &C
emulation OF such material at the very
threshold OF the bank, has, by the natural
operation Of physical laws produced an
explosion by spontaneous combustion.
The following curt and pithy commu-
nication from sour own correspondent"
gives the iul particulars, and extends TO
the holders OF the paper as good means Of
judging whether to hold on, or let 90 at
any price, as we have ourselves. For our
own part, we have little faith IN the crow
bar, as redeeming agent

Our Candidates.

We never knew candidates 10 be- more
generally acceptable to the people than
are the Wing candidates for the Conven-
tion-while the locofoco candidates are
not at all agreeable 10 that party, Against
several ofthem there are private sbjec-
tons, and against Mr.. NcLane it is urged
with truth, that he does not belong to Ce-
Gil county, has no feeling in common
with her people, and should not be elect
ed by them.
1t is true that some of the locofocos
are trying to injnre Mr. Creswell by say
ing he is too young. He was nominated
by the Oldest man in our Convention,
and one Of the most responsible men in
the county. He is twenty two years of
age; his learning is extensive, he has
strong, sound common sense, and natural
talents Of the highest order, and is one of
:he most hlgh-soulrd and moral men in
the State. His fortunes are identified
with the county and State, and there new
CT was candidate presented to the peo-
PIE Q! this county more worthy OF their
support.

So | take the privilege of the day,

quarter.
i am afcerd that werges on the poeti-

No, it don't replied Sam reading on
very quickly, to avoid contesting the point.
Except of me, Mary, my dear, as
your valentine, and think over what /

conclude. That's ALL, said Sam.
That's rather a sudden pull up, amt
1t, Sammy ? inquired Mr.. Weller.
Not bit on it, said Sam she'll wish

THE LAND OF GOLD.
by MRS. II. J. LEWIS

by MRS. H.. J.. LEWIS
The Land Of Gold And what beside is there
Round which the tendrils of the heart may twinel
Are there bright cottage homes where children fair
Peep through the lattice thick o'erlaid with vine
Are there broad fields Of waving grass and grain,
And herds that homewaTd roam at hush Of eve
And clear, cool streams that wander through the ,an
And birds that love their nests TO weave
Are there no clouds but such as beauty lend
To softest skies with intensely brighta
With its wild airs do richest perfumes blend
To form second Eden Of delight
Are altars there whereOn the soul may law
The burden of it's loneliness and carel
Doth deep-toned bell upon the Holy Day,
Call weak and tempted hearts to ferven, PRAYER
What! none Of these in that fair Land Of Gold
Nor love, nor friendship, yet thou must depart1
God comfort thee when burning hope grows cold.
And disappointment goads or breaks thy heart.

The cultivation of the pine apple has
been commenced in Florida and, with a
little protection occasionally in winter, il is
believed this delicious fruit can be raised
in that State in abundance. The banana,
guava, fig, date, plum, orange, and in fact
all tropical fruits, are now successfully
cultivated in the neighborhood OF ST. Au-
gustine, and the Ancient City, a paper pub
lished at that place, says that with a mod
crate degree of attention Florida can be
made to be not only the land of flowers
but the land of fruits.

a supplement to treatise on coins and
bullion, published by the authors in 1912;
and is rendered necessary by the recent
change in the tariff of mint charges on de-
posites, the appearance of number of
new coins and some well executed coun-
terfeits, and the discovery and extensive
working of the gold mines Of California.

We acknowledge the receipt of note
from the Hon. Mr.. MoRToN, Of Virginia,
requesting that, as an act Of "justice, -
we should publish his speech in explana-
ton Of his position. In that speech Mr..
MORTON accused us Of an act Of gross
injustice" in emitting, in the classified
ton of the members on the Committee on
the District Of Columbia, TO set him down
as Wing. We were not familiar with
Mr. MoRToN's antecedents. We we're
under the impression that he had been
elected by Democratic votes. We found
him, at the commencement Of new ca
reer, adopting course in WIG caucus
which could not but be wrong, il the
course Of our WING friends from North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mary
land, Delaware, Louisiana, and that Of his
Wing colleague from Virginia, were right.

MIR. CaIhoun,s nIanlfssto.

We publish this morning the speech Of
Mr.. CALHOUN, which was read yesterday
in the Senate by Mr.. Mason of Virginia.
1t is very elaborate effort, and is marked
by all the peculiarities of its author. 1t
is extremely bold in its assumptions, its
Inconsistencies, and its demands. It's tone
is that Of man who has commission to
speak peremptorily and finally for both
parties in fifteen slaveholding States.
Mr.. CALHOUN lays down his PROPOSE
tons as if he were the sole and absolute
guardian Of the honor and interests of the
South, and authorized to prescribe the
terms on which the Union is to be saved.
One would suppose that, instead of hav-
ing been for twenty years excluded from
Wing and DEMOCRATIC confidence, by
the wildness Of his vagaries and the
recklessness of his ambition, he was re-
garded as the highpriest of both, and that
both were ready to receive the law from
his lips.
He informs US that Mr.. CLAY's plan
cannot save the Union. He informs us
that President TAYLoR's plan cannot save
the Union. The projects of Mr.. FooTE
and Mr.. BELL, he considers not entitled
to even passing allusion. There is only
one way in which the Union can be saved,
and that is Mr.. CALHoUN's own way. The
South, he says, has no compromise to Of
fer but the Constitution--and not even
that without an amendment!
We consider the speech of Mr.. CAL
HoUN manifesto of disunion, by pre-
scribing impracticable and impossible con
ditions for the salvation of the Union. 1t
takes the ground, substantially, that, if
California is admitted into the Union, it
will present case for resistance. This
is the only tangible and practical PROPOSE
ton in the whole speech.
Whatever doubt may have been hith-
erto entertained upon the question, no one
can read this speech without coming to
the conclusion that Mr.. CALHOUN has
wrought himself into the conviction that
the dissolution of the Union is the only
remedy for existing evils. That it will
separate him from thousands of we'll
intentioned and patriotic citizens, both
at the North and the South, who have
hitherto looked up to him as safe politi-
cal guide and adviser, We cannot doubt.
1t is fortunate for the country that Mr..
CALHOUN has thus unmasked his motives
and objects for, as professed disunion-
list, he will be henceforth shorn of his
powers and opportunities of mischief.
