an rislt-TAe Brsneh Mint at New Yok-Ar Diekinsos
completely successful.
We have had very animated fight in the senate to-
day the bill for establishing branch mint at New
York The usefulness and the necessity Of this estab
lshmcnt most admirably laid down by Mr.. Dick
inson, who proposed TO go at to voting; but was
compelled to debate the whole subject again, on
account Of tho unyeldng opposition Of Mr. Badger Of
North Carolina dhere being little branch mint in
that away up in the at Charotte0 and
by Mr. Dawson Of Georgia (thcre being another little
branch mint up in the highlands OF that State at Dab
lonesa2 and by Mr.. Pearce, OF Maryland, who has
some little Jeaioeses on account OF the commercial
ambition Of Baltimore
But Mr Benton, with the Western auxiliaries for a
branch mint at San Francisco united with the friends
Of the New York mint, carried IL to third reading
by the triumphant vote Of 81 to- II.
1t is due to Mr. Dickinson, to say that his unanswer
able support Of the New York Branch Mint, and his
close attention TO the BILL have contributed mainly to
its by the Senate at this early stage Of the ses
the House. We now consider the branch mint for
New York a sure thing at this session of Congress.
